You aren't allowed to remember this or want it back, you racists.

I'm only 46, but I remember sitting in line, as a toddler, for over an hour waiting to get gas with MommaFree. For a 2 1/2-3 yr old, that was an eternity.
Our children, when they're adults and parents of their own, are gonna remember th days when $2.50/gal was cheap.
My kids can't believe that when I started driving, gas was .89¢/gal, a pack of smokes cost me $1.50, and a bottle of Coke was .95¢. They can't believe I could fill up my car, a '74 Pontiac Le Mans GT (20 gal tank gas guzzling land yacht), buy a pack of smokes and a Coke and still have change left over.
My son filled up the tank in my Ford Explorer the other day. He paid over $80. That was almost 1/4 of his paycheck. And he works full time for Boar's Head.
25 cents when i was a kid. double pack of twinkies 13 cents.
Oh my - She's a Cutie!
Why are we talking about gas prices. I thought this thread was about a time when American women weren't LAND WHALES!
In 1976 my family took a long trip across the country. Gas was 32 cents, but when we found ourselves running low in the middle of nowhere on the way to the Grand Canyon, my dad was forced to fill up at the only station around for 75 cents a gallon. My dad complained about that all the way back to PA.
I hear ya.
In NJ in 2003 mind you, gas was 1.64. I moved to Florida and it was over $2.30. 3 years later back in NJ it was approaching $4. It ended up getting up over$5. This artificial gas rise made it seem like $2.50 was cheap.
And that's how they get you. Soon we'll be thankful for $3.50
We lost the advantage when they passed the gas tax under Chubsy Ubsy. Geez...we even had to vote on a public question ~ Do you want the gas tax to actually go to the road improvements it was designated for?
Um...yes. Why do you ask?
